A thief steals an ATM card and must randomly guess the correct seven-digit pin code from a 4-key keypad. Repetition of digits
1 answer:
Answer:
The probability of correct guess on the first try is .
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
The ATM has 4 key pad and required a 7 digit pin, where repetition is allowed.
Thief has 7 slots and 4 choices per slot. Because repetition is allowed.
Thus, the total number of different ways are:
4×4×4×4×4×4×4 = 16384
But only one combination is proper code.
Therefore,
Hence, the probability of correct guess on the first try is .

Well the line that bisects RS, will cut RS in two equal halves, therefore, that line will cut RS perpendicularly at the midpoint of RS.
now, what the dickens is the midpoint of RS anyway?
so, we know that perpendicular line, will have to go through (2, 11/2)
now, a perpendicular line to RS, will have a negative reciprocal slope to it. Well, what is the slope of RS anyway?
and let's check the reciprocal negative of that,
so, then, what's is the equation of a line whose slope is 6, and goes through 2, 11/2?
